It is used as an emergency contraceptive tablet to prevent unwanted pregnancy in case of unprotected sex or contraception failure. As the name suggests, it should be taken as soon as possible, preferably within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
This tablet contains levonorgestrel as an active ingredient. When the active compound gets into the bloodstream, it blocks the formation of hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). These hormones are responsible for the development and release of eggs from the ovaries (ovulation). Hence, depending upon your reproductive cycle, the emergency pill works by delaying the process of ovulation. However, in case the ovary has already released the egg, the tablet works by disrupting the fertilization of the egg with the sperm. In case the fertilization has already occurred, it prevents the pregnancy by hindering the implantation (attachment) process in the uterus.
It is a single dose formulation wherein one single dose is used as emergency contraception. This pill needs to be taken orally and within 24-72 hours of having unprotected sex. The sooner you take the pill, the better it is because as time passes by, the pill becomes less effective. The Unwanted 72 Tablet is usually safe if taken in a responsible manner but can lead to side-effects such as nausea, fatigue, and stomach cramps.
